birthday girl

Well my baby turned 4 last month and it was a fun day for her- she started out with daddy making her breakfast in the shape of whatever creative thing she could think of - and then the reason that she had dad make her breakfast and not mom- was becasue ben covered the pancakes with sprinkles and syrup and all other sorts of sugary items- anyhow so we started the day with her bouncing off the wall!
Later gracie had a birthday party at grandmas house with all sorts of friends and family- seriously there was a ton of people - who knew that at 4 she was this loved! hahah anyhow at the party the kids got to decorate cookies- which ended up with mostly knives going from from frosting to mouth and totally missing the cookie altogether! anyhow it was a lot of fun

Then we did presents - which she obviously loved - gracie loves clothes and so alot of what she got was pretty dresses and dress ups!
This little house is what ben and i got her and below is her saying thank you to her dad!
and then we had birthday cake- and because apparently to be a good mother you need not only make a birthday cake but a fabulous birthday cake- chelsea and i attempted to make a castle- i love this picture because i am telling her to blow out the candles and she is looking at me like i don't think so- anyhow luckily her friends were there to help her finally blow the candles out- but i laugh because i don't know how much time chelsea and i spent making that cake and then probably a sixth of it got eaten and the rest was thrown away! - oh well at least we have pictures :)

Happy B-day (Late) Little Miss Gracie! So cute. I love that she is into dress up:) And that cake is great--I've yet to attempt to make a themed cake. I figure I got a couple more years before Landon will ask me for one! Your daughter is adorable.
